Blessing number three...

Teachers!

My children are so blessed to have had wonderful teachers all the years they've been in school.

This year they were especially blessed! When my son was little, people asked us if he talked. Of course he did- but just with us. He was very quiet around everyone else. That all changed last year when his preschool teacher really drew him out. It was amazing and so much fun to see him stand very comfortably and answer some one's question instead of just hiding behind me or pretending he didn't hear the question. This year it's been so much fun to watch him not only continue that trend but grow even more. His two teachers this year, The Mrs.'s T's are wonderful, remarkable women and have now taught both my son and daughter. In another 3 years they will also teach my baby. Mrs. T always gives them a book of their art work over the year that includes a beautiful poem about their little hand and how much she loves it. Makes me cry every time because I know how much she means it.

My Daughter's teacher this year, Mrs. S has been a real blessing to her as well. She's very sweet and creative and matches my daughter's personality perfectly. My girl really needed her sweet spirit this year with all of the issues growing up brings. When they connect, it's magical to watch them interact with their teacher and see how well they learn. What a wonderful experience to have so many great teachers that are there for the right reason...they love our kids and they love to teach.
